QUANTSTACKNINJATRADER 8 · METATRADER 5 · AUTOMATED TRADING
NinjaTrader & general
Are QuantStack's strategies AI-powered?+
No. Every strategy is rule-based and systematic — fixed entry, exit, and risk logic, not a machine-learning model or a black box. That logic is backtested and forward-tested using the methodology on the Performance page, not trained on data after the fact.
What do I need to run a strategy?+
NinjaTrader 8, a live, demo, or prop-firm evaluation brokerage account, and a valid license key. See How it works for the full import-to-live walkthrough.
Can I run a strategy on a prop-firm or funded account?+
Yes. The license doesn't restrict account type — live, demo, and prop-firm evaluation accounts are all supported.
How many machines can I run my license on?+
One machine at a time — your license key binds to a machine ID on activation. If you need to move to a new computer or reinstall, reach out and we'll transfer it.
What happens when a strategy is updated?+
Updates and fixes are delivered as a new install — we'll send you the updated file to import the same way as your initial setup, and it binds to your existing license key at no extra cost.
How are backtest results verified?+
Every strategy runs through the same validation pipeline before release: in-sample/out-of-sample splits, walk-forward testing, Monte Carlo permutation, bootstrapped resampling, parameter sensitivity checks, and slippage/fee modeling. Full details are on the Performance page.
What's the difference between backtested and forward-tested?+
Backtested means run against historical data after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight. Forward-tested means run live, in real time, with no changes to the logic during the test window. We label every result clearly so you always know which one you're looking at.
How do I get support?+
Email support@quantstackai.com for licensing questions, custom strategy requests, or anything else.
MetaTrader 5
How do I get the MetaTrader 5 strategies for free?+
Open a live Ultima Markets account through our referral link, then send us your MT5 account number on the free access page. We confirm the account was opened through the link and email your license key. It is tied to that account and stays active while the account remains under the referral.
What do I need to run the MetaTrader 5 strategies?+
MetaTrader 5, a trading account with NAS100 and XAUUSD, a license key, and an internet connection for the licence check. See the MetaTrader 5 setup guide for the walkthrough.
Which broker should I use for MetaTrader 5?+
We build and test on Ultima Markets. Other brokers can work if they offer the same instruments, but you will need to match the symbols and set the server time offset, and spreads will change your results.
Can I use one MetaTrader 5 key on more than one account?+
No. A key binds to one MT5 trading account. If you change accounts, contact us and we will move it.
Does a NinjaTrader subscription include the MetaTrader 5 strategies?+
No, they are separate subscriptions with separate keys. See NinjaTrader pricing and MetaTrader 5 pricing.
Are the MetaTrader 5 results live?+
No. They are four-year backtests from the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, labeled as such, with the method and limits on the MetaTrader 5 performance page.
